<p>She had <em>hospitably entertained</em> the angels, <br />
      she had <em>believed </em>their message, <br />
      she had <em>obeyed</em> their command, <br />
      she had <em>left Sodom</em> behind her,<br />
      she had <em>forsaken </em>the ungodly.<br />
      <br />
      Yet her <em>heart </em>was left in the city! <br />
      <br />
      She was cut off by a visible display of God's judgment!<br />
      <br />
      <em>&quot;But Lot's wife looked back—and she became a pillar of salt!&quot;</em> <br />
      Genesis 19:26<br />
      <strong><br />
        The situation in which she died is instructive: <br />
      </strong><br />
      It was not in<em> Sodom</em>—but on the <em>plain</em>.<br />
      <br />
      She escaped one judgment—but was overtaken by another!<br />
      <br />
      She was deprived of eternal life—for too highly prizing earth's comforts!<br />
      <br />
      She was left as a sad example of God's jealousy, and His displeasure against sin. <br />
      <br />
      God will be honoured either by our <em>obedience</em>—or by our <em>punishment! </em><br />
      <br />
      It is dangerous to trifle with the smallest of God's commands!<br />
      <br />
      We may overcome one temptation—and yet fall by another!<br />
      <br />
      Here is a warning to the <em>covetous</em>—whose hearts are set on earthly things!<br />
      <br />
      Here is a warning to the <em>self-willed</em>—who trifle with God's commands!<br />
      <br />
      Here is a warning to the <em>undecided</em>—who stand between <em>Sodom </em>and <em>Zoar</em>. <br />
      <br />
      Let us examine—<em>are our hearts detached from the world?</em><br />
      <br />
      Be not high-minded—but fear!<br />
      <br />
      <em>&quot;Remember Lot's wife!&quot;</em> Luke 17:32
